A Spring Mountain Experience: 95.3 KUIC’s John Young Visits Peacock Family Vineyard
Transcript of radio segment from 95.3 KUIC featuring John Young. Edited slightly for clarity and flow.
This is KKWZ, John Young. We’ll hear Cindy coming back around 6:45 to check the roadways.
And can you give me some Napa Valley music—something with a Napa Valley theme, or a surf beach theme, whatever works for you.
I just want to put my hands together for everybody who was a part of an amazing surprise 60th birthday party for my son Brett’s girlfriend Sydney’s father, Greg, who turned 60 over the weekend.
Got to spend time with him and his amazing wife Grace, Dar, Michelle, Marcus, and Tracy.
And we had an amazing—I guess you’d call him a tour guide to some degree—Darren out there at Eclectic Wine Tours, who took us to an amazing winery at the top of Spring Mountain, literally at the top of Spring Mountain out there west of St. Helena: Peacock Vineyards.
I want to shout out to Peacock Vineyards, and Rebecca Peacock Fogg, and her partner in winemaking fun, Meghan Vergara.
Had a chance to hear the story, literally from Rebecca and Meghan, about the creation of Peacock Vineyards.
That’s part of the fun, folks, of doing a wine tasting tour at some of these really cool—what you might call boutique wineries.
But the story of this winery is really amazing. In fact, you can read more about it—the Napa Valley Register did an amazing story about Peacock Vineyards. Keith Cousins on their writing staff. You can check it out online too. There’s a paper version for those of you who prefer that.
It talks about how the Peacock family bought this chunk of land at the top of Spring Mountain and literally had to helicopter in a lot of the landscaping because it was so hard to get to.
Darren got us up there safely and we enjoyed the stories, we enjoyed the weather—just amazing.
You’ve got to remember, we’ve got some amazing stuff—I know I use the word amazing a little too much—but right in our backyards, right? The Napa Valley.
If you’re trying to come up with something to do, especially for people from out of town who’ve never been there before, you’ve got to check it out.
Check out Peacock Vineyards, and check out that article in the Napa Valley Register—the Keith Cousins article about this amazing vineyard.
So much good stuff to love in the Napa Valley.
Yes—give it up for the Napa Valley.
